Eight different zirconium phenoxyimine complexes were synthesized, characterized and tested as catalysts for ethylene polymerization. The phenoxyimine compounds were prepared by condensation of substituted salicylaldehydes with aliphatic and aromatic amines, the substituted salicylaldehydes from ortho substituted phenols and paraformaldehyde. The introduction of iodo substituents was achieved e...

A practical, efficient, and operationally simple strategy for the ipsoiododecarboxylation and di-iodination of aromatic carboxylic acids using the low-cost commercial reagent succinimide (NIS) as iodine source is reported. This iodination or di-iodination process can be easily controlled through reaction conditions, thereby providing corresponding iodination or di-iodination products with high ...

Iodination of Escherichia coli cells with chloramine T preferentially labels the free and murein-bound forms of the outer membrane lipoprotein. Iodination for 15 s at 15 degrees C labels the two forms of the lipoprotein almost exclusively, whereas iodination for 60 s at 25 degrees C also labels the other major outer membrane proteins. Chloramine T iodination is a rapid, simple technique for lab...

The iodination of proteins remains a useful tool in biochemistry for radiolabelling. However, chemical or enzymatic iodination is difficult to control and can give deleterious polyiodination. Previously, we have shown that electrooxidation with nitrite is a rapid method for the selective nitration of tyrosine residues in proteins. In principle, it should be possible to substitute a number of el...

Purified rat tumor thyroglobulin from the experimental rat thyroid tumor, line 1-1C2, was studied for its thyroid hormone content after in vivo and in vitro iodination and compared with normal and desialylated normal rat thyroglobulin. Tumor thyroglobulin had a very low sialic acid and iodine content; after in vivo iodination it contained only small amounts of triiodothyronine (T3) and no detec...

Iodination of the isolated thyroglobulin (Tg) by peroxidase was compared with various Tg preparations obtained from patients with thyroid diseases. For the purpose, the iodination process was observed in the incubation medium containing Tg, iodide, H2O2-generating system, and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) or lactoperoxidase (LPO). During the incubation, iodination of Tg preparations increased gradua...

1. Crystalline chloroperoxidase is effective in catalyzing the iodination of tyrosine or thyroglobulin when supplemented with HzOz, or with the H20z-generating system, glucoseglucose oxidase. The iodination reaction is very rapid at low concentrations of iodide (5 X 10-5 M), and at low concentrations of tyrosine (1 X 10V4 M) or thyroglobulin (0.33 mg per ml). 2. Iodide is rapidly bound as 3-iod...

Oxidative iodination of human lactoferrin (Lf) as commonly performed by using the chloramine-T, the Iodogen or the lactoperoxidase method produces an unreliable tracer protein because of excessive and heterogeneous polymer formation. Before iodination a minor tetramer fraction may be demonstrable in iron-saturated Lf only. Iodination-induced polymerization of iron-poor as well as iron-saturated...

Viable leucocytes obtained fresh from normal human subjects were shown to be able to catalyse the in vitro iodination of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a H2O2-generating system. The rate and degree of iodination were greatly improved by sonication of the cells. A balanced salt solution was a more favourable medium than phosphate buffer for the myeloperoxidase (MPO)-catalysed iodination of whole ...
